Lshw In CentOS 7
Folks
I’ve been running lshw for years in both CentOS 6 and CentOS 7, yet just recently it started hanging. Neither a Control^C nor a “kill”
of the process cured the hang; only a reboot.
When I run it by hand from the command line, it displays stuff on the next line overwriting it with things like PCI, USB. And USB is the last thing I see. A Control-C does not unlock it.
I am running lshw-B.02.18-7.el7.x86_64. The CPU is an Intel I7-3770K, running CentOS 7.4.1708
Is there any idea? Is there some alternate program that could list the hardware?
Thanks
David

Is this just one system or a range of boxes? I just ran it on 2
different ones running CentOS 7 and it worked fine there. If it is just one particular hardware then look through the lshw man page and try the versions of something like
lshw -disable usb
to see if it still happens. [It might require other tests also.]

You could also try running it via strace – it might give you a clue as to where it is hanging :
strace -f lshw
